[0109]
  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a “pachinko machine”) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0110]
  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 includes an outer frame 2 and a front frame 3 that is provided at a front portion of the outer frame 2 and is supported at one side of the outer frame 2 so as to be opened and closed. .
[0111]
  A glass door frame 4 is provided on the front side of the front frame 3 so as to be freely opened and closed. A game board 5 is detachably attached to the rear side of the front frame 3 (the back of the glass door frame 4 and the inside of the outer frame 2). A mechanism plate (not shown) for mounting various control boards such as a main board 31 and a display control board 32 to be described later is attached to the back side of the front frame 3.
[0112]
  An upper plate 6 serving as a ball tray for storing the game balls B is provided at the lower portion of the glass door frame 4. In addition, a lower tray 7 as a ball tray is provided at a substantially central portion at the lower front portion of the front frame 3. A game ball launching handle 8 is provided on the side of the lower plate 7. The handle 8 is connected to a game ball launching device (not shown), and the game ball B is launched from the game ball launching device (not shown) when the player rotates the handle 8.
[0113]
  On one side of the game board 5, an inner rail 9a and an outer rail 9b for guiding the game ball B launched by the game ball launching device to the upper part of the game board 5 are provided. In the vicinity of the lower end portion of the inner rail 9a, an out port 11 through which the game ball B is led out is formed in the game board 5. Then, most of the game balls B flowing down to the lower part of the game board 5 are guided to a ball discharge path (not shown) through the out port 11.
[0114]
  Further, the game board 5 is formed with a plurality of openings by being subjected to router processing, and each opening has a big prize opening 12, an operation chucker 13 as an operation opening, a variable display device 14, and the like. Is arranged. In the present embodiment, a portion of the game board 5 surrounded by the inner rail 9a and the outer rail 9b and provided with the variable display device 14 and the like is a game area where the game ball B can flow down.
[0115]
  A shutter 15 that opens and closes the big prize opening 12 is provided in front of the big prize opening 12. The shutter 15 is operated by a special prize opening solenoid 16 provided on the side of the special prize opening 12 (see FIG. 10). Specifically, when the special winning opening solenoid 16 is excited, the shutter 15 is tilted substantially horizontally and the special winning opening 12 is opened. In addition, when the special prize opening solenoid 16 is de-energized, the shutter 15 is in a substantially vertical state, and the special prize opening 12 is closed.
[0116]
  The variable display device 14 includes a display unit 17 as a symbol display device and a center frame 18 provided around the display unit 17. The display unit 17 is configured by a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, and the display unit 17 can display a plurality of symbol strings as identification information. As these symbol strings, there are three symbol strings (identification information strings) including an upper symbol string K1, a middle symbol string K2, and a lower symbol string K3 (see FIG. 3). However, the number of symbol rows is not limited to three, and other symbol rows may be displayed. Further, the way of displaying symbols and the way of arranging the symbol rows are not particularly limited to the upper row, the middle row, and the lower row, and for example, they may be configured as a left row, a middle row, and a right row. In the present embodiment, the display unit 17 in the normal gaming state displays a background image showing the scenery in the sea that is not involved in the derivation of the predetermined gaming mode, and is positioned so as to be positioned in front of the background image. Symbol rows K1 to K3 are displayed.
[0117]
  Furthermore, on the display unit 17, based on the winning of the game ball B to the operation chucker 13, the symbol variation display of each symbol row K1 to K3 (scrolling display in the left direction in the present embodiment) is performed. It has a configuration. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the symbols j1, j2, j3, j4, j5, j6, j7, j8, j9 and the off symbol j10 are cyclically displayed, whereby each symbol row K1 K3 is configured. The symbols j1 to j9 are made up of symbols such as fish, and numerical symbols “1” to “9” attached to correspond to the symbols. On the other hand, the said off symbol j10 is comprised only with the picture of a shellfish, and as the name suggests, it does not become a jackpot symbol mentioned later but can only be a off symbol. In the middle symbol row K2 and the lower symbol row K3, symbols j1 to j9 are arranged in order from the left (numbers are increasing in the right direction), and the upper symbol column K1 is in order from the right (numbers are decreasing in the right direction). j1 to j9 are arranged (see FIG. 3). In the middle symbol row K2, only symbol j4 is further overlapped after symbol j9. In addition, one deviated symbol j10 is arranged between each symbol j1 to j9.
[0118]
  In the symbol variation display, one of the jackpot symbol, the missed reach symbol, and the missed symbol is selected and set as a stop symbol. The stop symbol is a symbol displayed when the symbol variation of each symbol row K1 to K3 is confirmed and stopped. In the present embodiment, the upper symbol row K1, the lower symbol row K3, and the middle symbol row K2 are stopped in this order. However, this is merely an example, and may be stopped in a different order.
[0119]
  The jackpot symbol is a symbol for generating a jackpot state as a special game state advantageous to the player after reaching the reach state. Specifically, a jackpot state is generated when combinations of stop symbols in all the symbol rows K1 to K3 become a jackpot combination predetermined on the jackpot lines L1 to L5 described below. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, left, middle, and right vertical lines L1, L2, and L3 and two diagonal lines L4 and L5 constitute jackpot lines L1 to L5 (5 lines). Called). Here, in the present embodiment, since so-called five lines are employed, three symbols j1 to j10 are displayed for each symbol row K1 to K3, and then fixed and stopped. That is, a total of nine symbols j1 to j10 are confirmed and stopped on the display unit 17. When the same type of symbols j1 to j9 are arranged on the jackpot line L1 to L5 (for example, when the same pattern “j3” is arranged on the jackpot line L1 as shown in FIG. 5), it is also regarded as a jackpot combination. (See FIG. 5). The symbol constituting this combination is the “big hit symbol”. When the jackpot combination is established, the jackpot 12 is opened, and a jackpot state advantageous to the player is generated. Specifically, unless the game ball B wins more than a predetermined value after the opening of the big winning opening 12 or the scheduled closing time arrives, the big winning opening 12 is kept open. When more game balls B win than the predetermined value or when the scheduled closing time comes, the special winning opening solenoid 16 is demagnetized. As a result, the shutter 15 is raised to a substantially vertical state, and the special winning opening 12 is closed (one round above). Further, until the predetermined continuation condition is satisfied a predetermined number of times, the special winning opening 12 repeats the above-described opening / closing cycle. For example, here, the predetermined value of the winning of the game ball B at one big winning opening 12 is “10”, the opening time of the big winning opening 12 is “about 29.5 seconds”, and the predetermined number of round continuations is “15”. Is set to. In such a case, after the grand prize opening 12 is opened, either (1) 10 game balls B win the big prize opening 12 or (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. When the above condition is satisfied, the special winning opening 12 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the special winning opening 12 is repeated 15 times at the maximum. That is, the player can acquire more prize balls.
[0120]
  The reach state means a state immediately before the jackpot (the jackpot may not be reached in some cases). In the present embodiment, the reach state includes a state in which the symbol variation of the lower symbol row K3 stops on the lines L1 to L5 with the same kind of symbols as the stop symbol of the upper symbol row K1.
[0121]
  In the above reach state, the symbol variation of the middle symbol row K2 will eventually stop at the same kind of symbols (big hit symbol) as the stop symbols of the upper and lower symbol rows K1 and K3 and become a big hit state , Including those that stop at different types of symbols (this is referred to as “outgoing reach design”) and do not become a big hit state (hereinafter referred to as “outgoing reach state”). Furthermore, after the symbols of the middle symbol row K2 are temporarily stopped, all the symbol rows K1 to K3 are changed again (or only the middle symbol row K2 is changed) and then stopped (also referred to as re-variation reach). Included).
[0122]
  In the reach state, various reach state patterns (reach patterns) are set in addition to “normal reach” in which the symbols in the middle symbol row K2 are simply scrolled in the same manner as in normal fluctuation. Among these reach patterns, reach patterns other than “normal reach” are so-called “super reach”. When the operation of “super reach” is started, the expected value (expected value for jackpot) at which a big hit state occurs is higher than in the case of “normal reach”. Also, in “super reach”, the jackpot expectation value may differ depending on each reach pattern. In addition, it is possible to prepare a reach pattern called “special reach” having a higher expected value than “super reach” or “premium reach” in which the occurrence of a big hit state is confirmed and displayed.
[0123]
  Further, each reach pattern is weighted, and the probability that each reach pattern is selected is individually different. Specifically, the probability of selecting “super reach” is set lower than the probability of selecting “normal reach”. In addition, the probability of selecting “special reach” is set lower than “super reach”. In addition, “Premium Reach” is set so that it is hardly selected. In the present embodiment, the probability that each reach pattern is selected differs depending on whether it is a big hit or not.
[0124]
  In addition, in the effect display mode of the display unit 17 that is changed in design, an effect other than the reach effect may be performed during the period from the start of change of all the symbol sequences K1 to K3 to the final stop display. Productions other than the reach production include production such as slip fluctuation, re-variation, reach suggestion, super reach suggestion, and jackpot suggestion. Here, the term “suggestion” may be used as long as it is possible to suggest that a predetermined gaming state is likely to occur depending on the performance, or that the generation affects the occurrence of the predetermined gaming state. There is no problem even if the predetermined gaming state does not occur (implication). In this Embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6-9, the school of fish (fish school) appears from the right end side of the display part 17 all at once, and toward the fluctuation | variation direction (left scroll direction) of the symbol sequence K1-K3. There may be an effect as if passing the symbol j1 to j10 in the symbol row K1 to K3 (hereinafter referred to as “fish school effect”). The fish school effect is displayed on the display unit 17 for 1.5 seconds.
[0125]
  When the game ball B newly wins the action chucker 13 during the symbol variation display of (symbol row K2) on the display unit 17, the symbol variation display corresponding to that time is performed. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the symbol variation display is waited (held). Although the maximum number of symbol variation displays to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, the maximum number of times to hold is set to 4 in this embodiment. However, the maximum number of holding times is not limited to this. For example, the maximum number of suspensions may be set to 8 in order to wait for 8 symbol fluctuation displays.
[0126]
  Above the center frame 18, hold lamps 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d indicating the number of times the symbol variation display is held are incorporated. The number of the holding lamps 19a to 19d is the same as the maximum holding number described above (four in this example). The hold lamps 19a to 19d are turned on every time the symbol variation display is held, and are turned off when the symbol variation display corresponding to the hold is executed.
[0127]
  In addition, various sensors for detecting the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 are attached to the game board 5. For example, a start switch 20 for detecting that the game ball B has won the operation chucker 13 and a big prize opening switch 21 for detecting that the game ball B has won the big prize opening 12 are provided (see FIG. 10). ).
[0128]
  In addition, the game board 5 is provided with a large number of nails (for the sake of convenience, the reference numerals are omitted) in order to disperse and adjust the flow direction of the game ball B as appropriate. Are disposed).
[0129]
  In addition to this, other various effect lamps and electrical decoration members (hereinafter referred to as lamps) for enhancing the gaming effect are attached to a plurality of locations of the pachinko machine 1. The lighting states of these lamps (turned on, turned off, blinking, etc.) can be changed as appropriate according to the progress of the game.
[0130]
  In addition, a speaker (not shown) is embedded in the front frame 3 for sounding various sound effects as the game progresses and for teaching the game state and the like to the player by voice.
[0131]
  In the present embodiment, the main control of the game is governed by the main board 31 as the game state determining means. The main board 31 is a read-only memory (ROM) that stores a predetermined control program and initial data in advance, a central processing unit (CPU) that executes various arithmetic processes according to the control program, and the like, and a random that stores the calculation results by the CPU. An access memory (RAM) is provided.
[0132]
  Further, various counters are set on the main board 31. For example, an internal random number counter for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot state, a jackpot symbol random number counter for determining a jackpot symbol to be stopped on the display unit 17, a symbol other than the jackpot symbol to be stopped on the display unit 17 Various random number counters such as an out symbol random number counter for determining a symbol, out of reach reach symbol), and a reach type determining counter for selecting one of a plurality of types of reach patterns as described above are set. The value of each random number counter is updated within a predetermined range (for example, “0” to “299”) every predetermined time (for example, “2 ms”). When the value reaches a specific value, it returns to the initial value. The values of these random number counters are read out as random numbers according to a predetermined condition, and symbol variation information is created based on the read out values of the random number counters and the like.
[0133]
  Further, the main board 31 has a round counter for counting the number of rounds of big hits, a winning counter for counting the number of winning game balls B to the big winning opening 12, and a holding counter 42 for counting the number of holdings of the symbol variation display ( h) Various count counters such as (see FIG. 10) are set. “H” of the hold counter 42 (h) corresponds to the number of hold times, and takes the values “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” in order. . Specifically, when the game ball B wins the operation chucker 13, it is determined whether or not the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is smaller than the maximum hold count (“4” in this example) on the main board 31. . When the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is smaller than the maximum hold count, 1 is added to the value of “h” of the hold counter 42 (h). At the same time, the main board 31 lights the corresponding holding lamp (one of 19a to 19d). On the other hand, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is equal to or greater than the maximum hold count (“4”), addition to the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is not performed. Therefore, in this example, the symbol variation display is held only up to four times, and the hold is not stored even if there are more winnings. When the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “0”, it means that the hold counter 42 (h) is not held.
[0134]
  Now, as shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, the RAM of the main board 31 has a reserved storage area 41 (i) as storage means for storing (storing) the variation information.
[0135]
  “(I)” in the hold storage area 41 (i) corresponds to the values “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” of the hold counter 42 (h) described above, The values of “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” are taken in order. The main board 31 that has created the variation information reads the value of the hold counter 42 (h) and stores the change information in the corresponding hold storage area 41 (i). For example, the fluctuation information when the value of the hold counter 42 becomes “3” is stored in the hold storage area 41 (i = 3).
[0136]
  More specifically, the hold storage area 41 (i) is configured to have four storage areas and one execution area so as to correspond to the hold counter 42 (h). The four storage areas are those in which the value of the reserved storage area 41 (i) is “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, and the execution area is the reserved storage area 41 (i) The value of is “0”. When the symbol fluctuates, the fluctuation information stored in the storage area 41 (i = 1) that is the storage area is shifted to the storage area 41 (i = 0) that is the execution area. The variation information stored in (i) is output as a command to various control boards.
[0137]
  In the present embodiment, the above-described ROM, CPU, RAM, and the like are also provided in the display control board 32 constituting the suggesting means and the display control means, which controls the main control in the display control of the variable display device 14. . Further, the RAM of the display control board 32 has a special reserved storage area 43 (i) as special storage means.
[0138]
  The special hold storage area 43 (i) stores (stores) information about whether or not a big hit is output from the main board 31. Specifically, a flag 44 is set in the special reserve storage area 43 (i), and when information indicating that the jackpot is stored, a sign indicating that the jackpot is in a standby state is displayed. When the flag 44 is set to “1” and information indicating that it is not a big hit is stored, the flag 44 is set to “0”.
[0139]
  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the display control board 32 that has received the information indicating that it is a big hit sets the flag 44 of the corresponding special reserved storage area 43 (i) to “1”, and the special reserved storage area. The flag 44 of the special reserved storage area 43 (i) having a smaller value of “i” than 43 (i) is also set to “1”. That is, in this case, the value of the flag 44 in the special hold storage area 43 (i) corresponding to the hold executed before the hold corresponding to the occurrence of the jackpot state is forcibly rewritten to “1”. It will be.
[0140]
  In the present embodiment, various counters are also set on the display control board 32. That is, a fish school effect generation counter 45 as a hint counter for determining whether or not a fish school effect is to be executed on the display unit 17, and a hint for determining when to execute the fish school effect on the display unit 17. Various random number counters such as a fish production generation timing counter 46 as a timing counter are set. The values of these random number counters are read as random numbers according to a predetermined condition, and the fish school production information is created based on the read values of the random number counters.
[0141]
  The display control board 32 is set with various count counters such as a special hold counter 47 (h) for counting the number of times the information is held, corresponding to the information indicating whether or not it is a big hit from the main board 31.
[0142]
  Note that the special reserved storage area 43 (i) in this embodiment also has the same configuration as the reserved storage area 41 (i) described above. Specifically, “(i)” in the special reserved storage area 43 (i) takes values of “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” in order, It is set so as to correspond to the value of the special hold counter 47 (h). The special reserved storage area 43 (i) is configured to have four storage areas and one execution area. The four storage areas are the values of the special reserved storage area 43 (i) of “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, and the execution area is the special reserved storage area 43 ( The value of i) is “0”. When the symbol fluctuates, the information indicating whether or not the jackpot is stored in the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 1) as the storage area is shifted to the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 0) as the execution area. Thus, control based on information such as whether or not the jackpot is stored in the special hold storage area 43 (i) is executed.
[0143]
  Here, the shift control in the main board 31 regarding the shift of the fluctuation information stored in the holding storage area 41 (i) will be described in detail.
[0144]
  The main board 31 always determines whether or not the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is not “0”. That is, it is a determination as to whether or not variation information is stored in the storage area. When a negative determination is made, that is, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “0”, only this determination is repeated. On the other hand, when the determination condition is satisfied (the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”), the symbol is currently displayed on the display unit 17. It is determined whether or not a change has occurred. When the symbol variation is performed on the display unit 17, such determination is repeated. On the other hand, when the symbol variation on the display unit 17 is not performed (except in the case of the big hit state), the variation information of the “hold storage area 41 (i)” is stored in the previous area “hold storage area 41 (i− 1) ". Then, it is determined again whether or not the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “0” and whether or not the symbol variation on the display unit 17 is performed. The shift control of the variation information stored in the hold storage area 41 (i) is continued until the value of the hold counter 42 (h) becomes “0”.
[0145]
  As described above, the variation information stored in the reserved storage area 41 (i) is shifted. As a result, the fluctuation information stored in the storage area is shifted to the execution area (stored in the reserved storage area 41 (i = 0)). The main board 31 constantly monitors whether or not the fluctuation information is stored in the hold storage area 41 (0). If the main board 31 detects the change information in the hold storage area 41 (0), the main board 31 holds the change information. The fluctuation information stored in the storage area 41 (0) is output as a command to each control board, and the fluctuation information stored in the reserved storage area 41 (0) is deleted. At the same time, the main board 31 corresponds to the storage area 41 (i) among the holding lamps 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d in the lighting state (one of the holding lamps 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d in the lighting state). The hold lamp 19) located on the far right is turned off, and “1” is subtracted from the hold counter 42 (h).
[0146]
  Next, the processing content when determining the big hit state etc. in the main board | substrate 31 is demonstrated.
[0147]
  First, the main board 31 that has received a detection signal indicating that a winning to the operation chucker 13 of the game ball B has been detected from the start switch 20 (excluding the maximum number of holding times) reads the value of the internal random number counter. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is a value corresponding to the jackpot. When the value of the internal random number counter is a value corresponding to the jackpot, the values of the jackpot symbol counter and the reach random number counter are read, and the jackpot symbol and the jackpot symbol to be stopped on the display unit 17 based on these values Determine the reach pattern leading to the stop. That is, the variation information that “the jackpot state is generated after the determined jackpot symbol is stopped through the determined reach state” is determined.
[0148]
  On the other hand, when the value of the internal random number counter is not a value corresponding to the jackpot, the value of the off symbol counter is read, and the off symbol to be stopped by the display unit 17 is determined based on the value. At this time, it is determined whether the value of the missed symbol counter is a value corresponding to the missed reach symbol or a value corresponding to the missed symbol. When the value of the outlier symbol counter corresponds to the outlier reach symbol, the value of the reach random number counter is read, and the reach type until the outlier reach symbol stops is determined based on the value. That is, the variation information indicating that “the determined outreach symbol is stopped through the determined reach state” is determined. Further, when the value of the off symbol counter is a value corresponding to the off symbol (a value not corresponding to the out of reach symbol), variation information indicating “stop the off symbol” is determined.
[0149]
  The main board 31 performs the above-described determination control when determining whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is a value corresponding to the jackpot, and also displays and controls information about whether or not the jackpot Output to the substrate 32.
[0150]
  Next, the determined variation information is stored in the corresponding reserved storage area 41 (i). Then, as described above, the fluctuation information in the hold storage area 41 (i) is shifted, and the change information shifted to the execution area (hold storage area 41 (i = 0)) is commanded.
[0151]
  Further, the main board 31 reads the value of the hold counter 42 (h) when converting the fluctuation information into a command, and also determines the symbol variation time of the symbol columns K1 to K3 based on the value, and determines the determined symbol. Information on the variation time is included in the command. In the present embodiment, the symbol variation time is set to be different depending on the value of the hold counter 42 (h) and the presence or absence of the reach state. Specifically, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “3” or “2” and the reach state does not occur, the symbol variation time is set to 5 seconds. Further, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “1” or “0” and the reach state does not occur, the symbol variation time is set to 10 seconds. Furthermore, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “3” or “2” and the normal reach occurs, the symbol variation time is set to 15 seconds. In addition, when the value of the hold counter 42 (h) is “1” or “0” and normal reach occurs, the symbol variation time is set to 20 seconds. In addition, when a reach effect other than normal reach occurs, the symbol variation time is set to 30 seconds. The symbol variation time means the time from the symbol variation start until the symbol of the middle symbol row K2 is displayed in a fixed stop state.
[0152]
  After determining the symbol variation time, the main board 31 adds symbol variation time information to the commanded variation information. Then, a command having the variation information and symbol variation time information (hereinafter, such a command is referred to as a variation command) is output to the display control board 32 or the like.
[0153]
  Next, the processing content of the symbol variation process in the display control board 32 will be described.
[0154]
  As described above, when the main board 31 determines whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is a value corresponding to the jackpot, it outputs information about whether or not the jackpot is to the display control board 32. Upon receiving this information, the display control board 32 adds “(1)” to the value of the special hold counter 47 (h), and information on whether or not it is a big hit according to the value of the special hold counter 47 (h). Are stored in the corresponding special reserved storage area 43 (i). At this time, if the information is not a big hit, the display control board 32 sets the flag 44 of the corresponding special reserved storage area 43 (i) to “0”. On the other hand, when the information is a big hit, the display control board 32 sets the flag 44 of the corresponding special reserved storage area 43 (i) to “1” and the special reserved storage area 43 (i). The flag 44 of the special reserved storage area 43 (i) having a smaller value than (i) is forcibly set to “1”.
[0155]
  While performing the processing as described above, the display control board 32 waits for the change command from the main board 31 to be sent.
[0156]
  Then, the display control board 32 that has received the change command from the main board 31 performs shift control of information regarding whether or not the jackpot is stored in the special reserved storage area 43 (i). Specifically, the information indicating whether or not the “special reserved storage area 43 (i)” is a big hit is shifted to the previous area “special reserved storage area 43 (i−1)”. As a result, information indicating whether or not a big hit is stored in the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 0), which is an execution area.
[0157]
  Next, the display control board 32 checks the flag 44 set in the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 0). When the flag 44 is set to “0”, the display control board 32 reads the value of the fish school effect generation counter 45 and determines whether or not to generate the fish school effect based on the value. In the present embodiment, when the flag 44 is set to “0”, a setting is made to generate a fish school effect with a probability of 1/15.
[0158]
  When the value of the fish school effect generation counter 45 does not generate the fish school effect, the display control board 32 determines the display mode on the display unit 17 based on the change command, and changes the symbol sequences K1 to K3. To start. On the other hand, when the value of the fish effect generation counter 45 is a value for generating the fish effect, the display control board 32 reads the value of the fish effect generation timing counter 46 and sets the value of the fish effect generation timing counter 46. Based on this, the fish school effect generation timings 0 to 5 are determined. Then, a fish school performance timing table stored in advance in the ROM is taken into consideration to determine at which timing the fish school performance is to be performed.
[0159]
  In the present embodiment, for example, there are six values of the fish school effect generation timing counter 46, and the fish time effect generation timing table sets the generation times corresponding to the six fish effect generation timings 0 to 5. Has been. The generation timings corresponding to such fish school production generation timings 0 to 5 are set between the start of fluctuation and immediately before the final stop display. Furthermore, the generation time corresponding to the fish production effect generation timings 0 to 5 corresponds to the symbol variation time. Specifically, when the symbol variation time is 5 seconds and the fish production effect generation timing is 0, the generation time is set to 0 seconds. That is, in this case, the fish school effect is performed simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation. Further, in the case of the fish school effect generation timing 1, the generation time is set to 2 seconds. That is, in this case, a fish school effect will be performed 2 seconds after the start of symbol variation. Further, in the case of the fish school production generation timings 2, 3, and 4, the generation timing is set to 3 seconds. In addition, in the case of the fish production effect generation timing 5, the generation timing is set to 4 seconds. When the symbol variation time is 10 seconds, the fish school effect generation timings 0 to 5 are 0 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 7 seconds, and 9 seconds in order, and when the symbol variation time is 15 seconds, the fish school effect generation timing. 0 to 5 are 0 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 10 seconds, and 14 seconds in order, and when the symbol variation time is 20 seconds, the fish production effect generation timings 0 to 5 are 0 seconds, 4 seconds, and 7 in order. When seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 19 seconds, and the symbol variation time is 30 seconds, the fish production generation timings 0 to 5 are set to 0 seconds, 4 seconds, 10 seconds, 11 seconds, 20 seconds, and 29 seconds in order. The
[0160]
  And the display control board 32 determines the display mode in the display part 17 based on the display information of the fish school effect, and the said fluctuation | variation command, starts the fluctuation | variation of the symbol sequence K1-K3, and if necessary, a fish school effect Execute.
In addition, when the flag 44 of the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 0) is set to “1”, the display control board 32 that has confirmed the fact reads out the value of the fish school effect generation counter 45 described above. The value of the fish production effect generation timing counter 46 is read out. Based on the read value of the fish school production occurrence timing counter 46, the display control board 32 considers the fish school production timing table and determines at which timing the fish school production is to be performed. And the display control board 32 determines the display mode in the display part 17 based on the display information of the fish school effect and the change command, starts the change of the symbol rows K1 to K3, and executes the fish school effect at a predetermined timing. To do.
[0161]
  By the way, when the fish production effect generation timing 5 immediately before the confirmation stop display is selected from the fish production effect generation timing table, the fish production effect is performed across two symbol variations. Specifically, when the fish production effect generation timing 5 is selected, the generation time is set one second before the symbol fixed stop display, whereas the fish production display time is 1.5 seconds. For this reason, the fish school effect can be displayed only for the remaining one second during the symbol variation, and the fish group effect for the remaining 0.5 seconds is displayed by the next symbol variation.
[0162]
  At the time of selecting the fish production effect generation timing 5 in such a display mode, the display control board 32 performs predetermined control according to the gaming state. For example, when all the flags 44 of the special reserved storage area 43 (i) are set to “0” and the value of the fish school effect generation counter 45 is a value corresponding to the occurrence of the fish school effect, the fish school effect generation timing counter 46 The value of is read. Here, when the fish school effect generation timing 5 is not selected (one of the fish school effect generation timings 0 to 4 is selected), any of the fish school effect generation timings 0 to 4 that are selected and determined are selected. A school of fish production is performed at the time of occurrence. On the other hand, when the fish production effect generation timing 5 is selected, the value of the specific hold counter 42 (h) is confirmed. When this value is other than “0”, that is, information indicating whether or not the special reservation storage area 43 (i = 1) executed next to the special reservation storage area 43 (i = 0) to be executed is a big hit When various types of information are stored (when there is a hold), a fish school effect is performed across the symbol change fixed stop display. In this case, the display control board 32 stores various information in the special reserve storage area 43 (i = 1) next to the special reserve storage area 43 (i = 0) in which the fish school production occurrence timing 5 is selected. Even if it is shifted to 43 (i = 0), the value of the fish production effect counter 45 is not read. This prohibits the next school of fish for 1.5 seconds.
[0163]
  On the other hand, if the flag 44 of the special reserve storage area 43 (i) is set to “1”, the selected fish group effect is performed regardless of which of the fish effect generation timings 0 to 5 is selected. Is called. Thereby, for example, various information in the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 3) corresponds to the jackpot confirmation display, and various information in the special reserved storage area 43 (i = 1) is stored in the special reserved storage area 43 ( i = 0), and if the fish production is to be performed at the timing of the fish production generation timing 5 during the corresponding symbol variation, the original fish production of 1.5 seconds is also performed during the next symbol variation. Done. In other words, the display mode is as if two school of fish effects are being performed on the display unit 17 during symbol variation. In addition, in the case where the fish school generation timing of the next symbol variation is performed at the start of the variation, the series of fish school effect display is longer than usual.
[0164]
  As described in detail above, in the present embodiment, the big hit state is set to occur only after passing through the fish school effect. That is, it can be said that the fish school effect corresponds to “big hit suggestion” (a hint) that suggests that the big hit state is generated with a high probability. Then, the player who recognizes that the fish school effect is “big hit suggestion” will play the game while looking forward to the occurrence of the fish school effect. In addition, when a fish school effect is actually generated, the player will be delighted with the generation of the fish school effect that he has been waiting for, and will expand his expectation for the occurrence of the big hit state.
[0165]
  In the present embodiment, when the display control board 32 receives the information indicating that it is a big hit, the display control board 32 sets the flag 44 of the special hold storage area 43 (i) corresponding to the hold to “1” and the special The flag 44 of the special reserved storage area 43 (i) having a smaller value of (i) than the reserved storage area 43 (i) is forcibly set to “1”. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to display a fish school effect on each of a plurality of consecutive symbol variation displays. In other words, relevance can be given to a plurality of continuous fluctuation displays. As a result, the playability can be widened, and as a result, the monotonous feeling can be eliminated.
[0166]
  In this way, in this embodiment, the fish school effect which is the “big hit suggestion” is continuously displayed. For this reason, a player who has recognized that a fish school effect is generated in each of a plurality of continuous variation displays may derive a hint from a plurality of continuous variation displays instead of a single variation display. expect. In other words, the game is played while looking forward to the occurrence of continuous fish school effects. In addition, when a continuous fish school effect is actually generated, the player will be delighted by the continuous fish school effect that he has been looking forward to and will greatly expand his expectation for the occurrence of the big hit state. In other words, the player can experience an exhilaration that is different from the normal gaming state, and as a result, the player can wipe off the monotonous feeling.
[0167]
  In addition, even if the fish pattern production has occurred and the symbol change has come off and the symbol is stopped with the symbol display, the fish production effect may occur even during the next symbol change (the fish production effect is not continuous) I can give the expectation that the jackpot will come.
[0168]
  Here, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of fish production effects are prepared, and the timing is determined at random. Therefore, the player can predict when the fish production will occur during the pattern change. Not stick. As a result, even a player who is looking forward to the production of a fish school and always paying attention to the production of the fish school will be surprised at the occurrence of the fish school production. For example, when a fish production is generated at an earlier timing than expected, the player is surprised at the fish production at an unintended occurrence timing, and is surprised and delighted. On the other hand, if a fish production is generated at a later timing than expected, the joy to learn with surprise is exceptional because the player is disappointed that the fish production will not occur Become. That is, by adding unexpectedness to the game, a complex game is generated, and the player can experience a complex change of feelings. As a result, it is possible to dramatically improve the interest of the game.
[0169]
  In addition, in the present embodiment, the fish school effect generation timing is set between the start of symbol variation and immediately before the fixed stop display, and it is possible to expect the jackpot state to arrive until just before the fixed stop display. For example, when the value of the hold counter (h) is “3”, first, the fish production effect is generated and deviated at the fish school generation timing 3, and the fish school production is generated at the fish school generation timing 3 even during the next symbol variation. In the next symbol variation, the fish production effect may occur at the fish school generation timing 5 and the final winning symbol may be displayed with the jackpot symbol. In this case, the player does not generate the fish school effect until immediately before the symbol confirmation stop display, not only at the time of the fish school generation timing 3 during the third time of the symbol change. I was disappointed, and I was amazed at the production of the fish production at the tip of the arrow that I thought would not have been a big hit, and I had a moment of bliss. That is, inflections from discouragement to joy can be added to the game, and the monotonous feeling can be wiped out in the game.
[0170]
  Moreover, the fish school effect may be derived simultaneously with the start of the variable display. Conventionally, such an effect is not performed at the start of variable display, and there are many cases where the user feels bored as a whole. In this respect, in the present embodiment, the fishery effect, which is a big hit suggestion, may be derived even at the start of fluctuation, so that the player can always have a sense of expectation. The player is surprised to be surprised at the sudden derivation of the fish school effect at the same time as the start of the variable display, which is not familiar to the user.
[0171]
  In addition, there is a possibility that a fish school effect will occur until just before the confirmation stop display, so even if the symbol row K3 is stopped and the reach state is not reached, the fish school effect is not yet generated during the symbol variation. Furthermore, it can be expected that a school of fish production will occur continuously. In other words, it is possible to always keep a sense of expectation in games. Also, instead of expecting for the jackpot symbol fixed stop display of the symbol variation concerned, because a game different from the normal gaming state is expected to expect the occurrence of a jackpot state for the next symbol variation, The depth of game will increase, and a monotonous feeling can be wiped out.
[0172]
  In addition, fish production effects may be displayed across two symbol variations. Normally, when the symbol fixed stop display is displayed, the variation display other than the background is not performed. However, if the fish production is displayed across two symbol variations, even if the symbol fixed stop display is displayed, the jackpot suggestion The barrel fish production will be variably displayed. A player who has witnessed such a visual recognition aspect will be surprised and entertained by the continuity of the school of fish production, and will visually recognize the display unit 17 while expanding the expectation of occurrence of the big hit state.
[0173]
  In particular, when a fish school effect is performed across two symbol variations, two fish school effects may occur during one symbol variation. In the present embodiment, only when the occurrence of the jackpot state is confirmed, since two fish school effects are allowed during one symbol change, the occurrence of the jackpot state is caused by the occurrence of the two fish school effects. Confirmation will be taught. For this reason, the player who has visually recognized the fish production straddling the symbol confirmation stop display, the second fish production production (if the second fish production production occurs at the start of the symbol fluctuation, The generation of the fish school effect display time of 1.5 seconds, which is longer than 1.5 seconds, is eagerly generated, and the display unit 17 is stared while pounding. That is, in the game, by providing an effect mode that makes the player excited, it is possible to add inflection to the game, and as a result, it is possible to dramatically improve the interest.
[0174]
  In addition, since there are a plurality of generation timings of the fish production, the player can determine the relationship between the generation timing of the fish production and the occurrence of the jackpot state based on the player's own past experience, memory, statistics, etc. There may be various thoughts. In other words, when a player's various feelings are mixed with a fish school effect that occurs at a plurality of timings, a complex gameability is generated, and as a result, a dramatic improvement in interest can be achieved.
[0175]
  In addition, the display control board 32 is provided with a fish school production occurrence counter 45, a fish school production timing counter 46, and the like, and controls the display production board 32 to reduce the burden on the main board 31 having a large amount of control. Can do.
[0176]
  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.
[0177]
  (A) In the above embodiment, when the flag 44 is set to “1”, a fish school effect is always performed. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, the display control board 32 is provided with a “big hit fish school effect generation counter” set so that a fish school effect is more likely to occur than the fish school effect generation counter 45, and the flag 44 is set to “1”. Alternatively, the “big hit fish school production occurrence counter” may be read so that the fish school production is performed with a relatively high probability.
[0178]
  (B) When a fish school effect is performed during symbol variation, the symbol fixed stop display may be performed through various reach states. For example, the value of the fish school generation counter may be read only when the super reach state occurs.
[0179]
  (C) Although the fish school effect in the above embodiment is a jackpot suggestion, it is not particularly limited to this, and may indicate a predetermined gaming state as appropriate. For example, it may be suggested that a super reach state occurs.
[0180]
  (D) In the above embodiment, the display time for one fish school effect is set to 1.5 seconds, but the display time is not particularly limited. For example, it is good also as continuing displaying a fish school effect from the time of a symbol change start to the time of a stop. The display of the fish school effect is not limited to the corresponding symbol variation. For example, in the special reserved storage area 43 (i), one or a plurality of consecutive flags are set to “1”. In this case, once the fish school effect is generated, the fish school effect may be continuously displayed until the special winning opening 12 is opened.
[0181]
  (E) The number of values of the fish school effect generation counter 45 and the fish school effect generation timing counter 46 in the above embodiment is not particularly limited. For example, there may be 20 values of the fish production effect generation timing counter 46, or the number of values of the fish effect generation counter 45 may be changed based on a predetermined condition to change the probability of occurrence of the fish effect. It is good.
[0182]
  (F) In the above embodiment, when the next symbol variation is not suspended, it is set so that the fish school effect is not performed (at the timing of the fish school effect generation timing 5) across the symbol confirmation stop display. Even if the next symbol variation is not suspended, a fish school effect straddling the symbol confirmation stop display may be performed. In other words, regardless of whether or not there is a hold, whatever fish school effect generation timing is selected, the fish school effect may be displayed for a predetermined time (1.5 seconds in the above example).
[0183]
  (G) Even if the flag 44 of the special reserved storage area (i) is set to “0”, it is possible to display the fish school effect twice in one symbol variation display. For example, the value of the fish school generation timing counter is taken when various kinds of information are stored in the special reservation storage area (i), and the fish school effect generation timing 5 in each of the consecutive special reservation storage areas (i). When the occurrence of the fish is determined, the fish school effect may be performed twice in one symbol variation display.
[0184]
  (H) In the above embodiment, the fish school production occurrence counter 45, the fish school production occurrence timing counter 46, and the fish school production occurrence timing table are provided on the display control board 32. It is good also as providing in the main board | substrate 31. FIG.
[0185]
  (I) The information content output to the display control board 32 when the main board 31 reads the value of each random number counter value is not particularly limited. It is only necessary to be set so that at least information on whether or not a big hit is output. For example, information on whether or not a big hit and reach pattern information are output, and various effects based on such information are displayed in advance. The control board 32 may be determined in advance.
[0186]
  (J) The target for deriving the “big hit suggestion” in the above embodiment is not particularly limited to a school of fish. For example, one fish may be displayed on the display unit 17 or, of course, a character other than the fish may be displayed. In addition, a specific presentation mode using various members (lamp, speaker, or accessory) other than the display unit 17 may be “big hit suggestion”. The timing may be selected at random. For example, a specific effect generation counter and a specific effect generation timing counter are provided on a lamp sound control board (not shown) that controls the lighting state of the lamp, the sound output from the speaker, and the like, and the lamp sound control board is the display control board 32. By receiving information indicating that the flag is set to “1”, the value of the counter may be read to determine the effect mode related to the specific effect. In addition, as a target for deriving the “hit for jackpot”, for example, four predetermined actors are provided so as to be variable, and the fluctuation start timing of the bonuses is selected at random, It may be configured such that the number of changing actors changes according to the number of consecutive fluctuations, so that it is performed continuously. Of course, instead of the fish school effect, various effect modes may be displayed on the display unit 17. Further, various effects by the display unit 17, a lamp, a speaker, an accessory, and the like as targets of “big hit suggestion” may be arbitrarily combined. Further, in addition to the display unit 17, a sub display unit using liquid crystal, a dot matrix, or the like may be provided, and “big hit suggestion” may be performed in the sub display unit. Of course, it may be performed in any combination with various effects by the display unit 17, the lamp, the speaker, the accessory, and the like.
[0187]
  Note that the lamp, speaker, accessory, etc. may be changed in the production mode only when the “big hit suggestion” is performed.
[0188]
  (K) In the above-described embodiment, the number of values of the fish school production occurrence timing counter 46 corresponding to each of the fish school production generation timings 0 to 5 is different depending on whether or not the jackpot state occurs. May be.
[0189]
  (L) In the above embodiment, the school of fish production or part of the school of fish may be configured by using a plurality of images of the same fish. For example, a school of fish may be formed by creating angelfish image data and copying the image data 20 times. Of course, the fish school may be configured by combining one or a plurality of other images with the fish school.
[0190]
  (M) You may implement as a pachinko machine etc. of a different type from the said embodiment. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Further, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that enters a special gaming state under the condition that a game ball is won in a predetermined area after the big hit symbol is displayed. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine called a blade. In addition to pachinko machines, the present invention can be implemented as various gaming machines such as slot machines, arrange ball machines, and similar sparrow balls. The slot machine is a well-known machine in which, for example, a symbol is stopped and fixed by operating a control lever in a state where a symbol effective line is determined by inserting coins. In this case, examples of the game medium include coins and medals.
[0191]
  (N) Further, the present invention may be implemented as a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused. As a specific example, an identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information (specifically, a reel and identification information is a symbol attached to the reel) is variably displayed (specifically, a rotation of the reel). After that, variable display means for confirming and stopping the identification information is provided, and the fluctuation of the identification information is started due to the operation of the start operation means (for example, the operation lever), and the stop operation means (for example, the stop button) is operated. A special gaming state that causes a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player on the condition that the variation of the identification information is stopped due to or after a predetermined time elapses, and the confirmed identification information at the time of the stoppage is the specific identification information Generating means, using a game ball as a game medium, requiring a predetermined number of game balls at the start of fluctuation of the identification information, and generating a large number of games at the occurrence of a special game state. One in which the ball is paid out.
